Ingredients
- 4 to 5 quarts plain popped popcorn (about 4 ounces popped)
- 1 cup butter
- 1 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 tablespoon vanilla
Instructions
- Sift the popped popcorn, with your fingers, from one bowl to another in order to lose most of the unpopped kernels.
- Stir and melt together butter, sugar, and corn syrup in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once butter is melted, let it come to a boil and cook for 1 minute, without stirring. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
- Immediately pour over the popcorn. You can also add 1 cup of pecan halves, almonds, and/or ribbon coconut. Stir for a few minutes to coat evenly. Let cool slightly, then serve.
